Do you dive? Don’t miss these dives - Want to dive Silfra and Davidsga? Go with these guys 😊 Silfra so pretty, get on an early trip if you can to beat the crowd. I enjoyed Davidsga (spelling?? Pronounciation??! 😂) even more, well worth it.

An experience of a life time - This was the most amazing experience. I have wanted to do this since I was a child and Iearnt about this in school. I am so grateful to the staff who helped me get ready for the snorkeling, but a big special thank you to Jenny, who was my snorkeling guide and was so lovely, funny and welcoming that my nerves melted away. I also felt really safe with her. It was an exhilarating experience, and I would definitely go for it again if I am ever back in Iceland!
